DreGarciaTAT2 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I love the feel of stippling, as a glock shooter, it also gives you the distinct ability to get a more custom grip shape on your pistol with frame reduction before applying the new texture. But I'm in the mindset that it should work well, AND look great. The main difference between the better pro jobs and the amateur stuff is the finishing work... The super clean edges and smooth-as-glass reshaped areas. Dakota Glock Guy- your stuff looks awesome SSVI- the best edge work in the industry IMHO I honestly can only think of a handful of companies that have work to this caliber... And it still blows my mind when top tier companies do phenomenal machine work, and have sloppy stippling (ZevTech/Glock Store) Anyway, this got long, sorry.

DreGarciaTAT2 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 my favorite stippling texture/pattern out there... Super grippy, and actually improves the rigidity of the frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garp Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The pics all look awesome. Question, putting the texture all the way up and around the beaver tail of the Glock, does/can that irritate the soft, fleshy part of the web on (my girly) a persons hand? At least, on extended shooting outings to the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, on extended shooting outings to the range. Not on my guns they won't. I take the texture down quite a bit. Basically I do either an aggressive, medium, or mild variation of my texture. That high part of the grip tang would be even more mild than my "mild" texture. It doesn't even bother me, and I have girly hands, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 improves the rigidity of the frame ? Do you quench it in oil when its done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I would imagine anytime you remove material you would weaken the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Commander Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I used one of the tips that came with the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The texturing itself I don't find to be very difficult, the finishing is really what seperates the amateurs from true professionals. You really see it in the work of some of the guys that have posted here as well as companies like Boresight Solutions, it totally blows my mind what the finished product looks like especially with scalloping of the mag release and the wet sanding to polish it afterwards, really quality work. Thats the kind of stuff I want to learn to do because im pretty good at applying the texture and making nice clean outlines. Heres a free plug for boresight because I think their work is top shelf and I haven't seen it mentioned here yet. http://www.boresightsolutions.com/home.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bockerSV Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 In some sections, yes. Such as the bevel for the magazine well that they cut or underneath the trigger guard. Some of the stippling I've done I lightly sand parts of the grip where it may irritate your hand such as up by the beavertail and such that way I can keep the same pattern all around but its less aggressive where I want it to be.

Dewberry Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) For those of y'all who have already done this to your guns what's the most aggressive texture. Right now my guns.covered with skate tape and I like the aggressive grip but i don't like how itbpeels off and loses flgrip over time.

BoyGlock Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 improves the rigidity of the frame ? Do you quench it in oil when its done? I guess it reduces the flexibility of the plastic part due to the heat and texture applied. It could be good or bad. If it reach the point that its too brittle it could break w/ long use.

bockerSV Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 This is an example of a texture I like a lot using a tip that I made. When it's all done you can bring down any spots that feel too aggressive with a little fine grit sand paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 That was done on an H&K USP police trade in the was completely beaten up from being worn daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind taking a picture of the tip you used for us? Edited November 3, 2014 by Dewberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 If left untouched after stippling it's very aggressive but you can kind of sand to fit how you like it in certain areas. And I'll get a picture for ya, might take a day or two. It's basically just a brass tip that's ground to a square maybe 2.5-3mm wide or so.
